See also http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1533 - this has a number of changes
to make services much more reliable on Windows.  My patch includes your
change, but along the lines of Tim's objection, mine compromises with:

+os.environ["PYTHONPATH"] = os.environ.get("PYTHONPATH", "") + ";" +
SOFTWARE_HOME

My patches also have the killer feature of writing any Zope stdout to the
Windows event log in the case of error - critical if you hope to see what
the underlying error was.  The patch also allows for Zope to be terminated
gracefully (rather than unconditionally terminating it as now), re-instates
support for Windows NT, and allows for a complete, functioning pywin32 build
to be used (including win32com etc).

Just-by-way-of-reminder ly,

Mark
